From the point of view of Confucian philosophers of antiquity cognitive value of the reasoning is determined by its efficiency, so the highest cognitive status belongs to an infallible prognostic reasoning. This type of reasoning, where the veracity of the forecast is guaranteed by the implementation of a certain winning strategy, may be called a predictive form of deduction.
